Hit the ground, hit the ground, hit the ground, oh, oh
Only sound, only sound, that u hear is "no"
u never saw it coming
Slipped when u started running
And now you've come undone, and I, I, I, I

Seen u fall, seen u crawl, on your knees, eh, eh
Seen u lost in a crowd, seen your colors fade
Wish I could make it better
Someday u won't remember,
This pain u thought would last forever and ever

[Chorus]
There you'll stand, ten feet tall
I will say, "I knew it all along"
Your eyes, wider than distance
This life is sweeter than fiction

Just a shot, just a shot, in the dark, oh, oh
All u got, all u got, are your shattered hopes
They never saw it coming
u hit the ground running
And now you're on to something
I, I, I say

What a sight, what a sight, when the light came on
Proved me right, proved me right, when u proved them wrong
And in this perfect weather
It's like we don't remember
The rain we thought would last forever and ever

[Chorus]
There you'll stand, ten feet tall
I will say, "I knew it all along"
Your eyes, wider than distance
This life is sweeter than fiction

There you'll stand, volgende to me
All at once, the rest is history
Your eyes, wider than distance
This life is sweeter than fiction (fiction)

[Bridge]
I'll be one of the many saying
Look at u now, look at u now, now
I'll be one of the many saying
u made us proud, u made us proud, proud

I'll be one of the many saying
Look at u now, look at u now, now
I'll be one of the many saying
u made us proud, u made us proud, proud

And when they call your name
And they put your picture in a frame
u know that I'll be there time and again
'Cause I loved u when

When u hit the ground, hit the ground, hit the ground, oh oh
Only sound, only sound that u heard was "no"
Now in this perfect weather
It's like we don't remember
The rain we thought would last forever and ever (forever)

[Chorus]
There you'll stand, ten feet tall
I will say, "I knew it all along"
Your eyes, wider than distance
This life is sweeter than fiction

There you'll stand, volgende to me
All at once, the rest is history
Your eyes, wider than distance
This life is sweeter than fiction, fiction

Sweeter than fiction,
It's sweeter, yeah,
It's sweeter, it's sweeter,
Sweeter than fiction
